Metso will supply a Metso DNA automation system, various measurement solutions and analyzers to BILT Graphic Paper Products Limited's (BGPPL) pulp mill in Ballarshah, India. The main process equipment was relocated from Metsä-Botnia's Kaskinen pulp mill that was closed down in Finland in 2009. The pulp mill in India will be started up in 2012. As part of a mill modernization plan at Ballarshah, a new fiber line and new recovery island area are being installed.

"We have a long association with Metso. They have recently upgraded our cooking and fiber line at our SFI plant in Malaysia and are now working with us in our pulp mill modernization project in Ballarshah," says R.R. Vederah, Managing Director & Executive Vice Chairman, BILT.

Metso's deliveries will take place in two phases. In the first one, Metso will supply a Metso DNA automation system, which will control the entire pulp mill. The delivery will also include Metso Brightness Measurements, Metso Residual Measurements and Metso Cooking Liquor Measurements.

In the second phase after the startup, Metso will conduct an audit to define the potential for performance improvement, in addition to supplying a Metso Cooking Optimizer and a Metso Kappa Analyzer
